“For all I know it does, it may, but that does not recommend it, to me, nor does it prove anything of its theology.”
Authors@Google, August 16, 2007, YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD0B-X9LJjs <br class="br">2000s, 2007 <br class="br">Context: It is said that Louis Farrakhan’s racist crackpot Nation of Islam and its sectarian gang gets young men off drugs. For all I know it does, it may, but that does not recommend it, to me, nor does it prove anything of its theology. Whereas I can tell you that of the suicide bombing population one hundred percent is faith-based. And I don’t think that in itself disapproves faith, but I think it should make you skeptical of that kind of random sampling. Of the genital mutilation community the same can be said.

“On theory: "I don’t know any theory. Knowing the theory does not mean anything.”
Vangelis (1943) Greek composer of electronic, progressive, ambient, jazz, pop rock, and orchestral music
If we theoretically know what a human being is, but someone has never seen one, or if you have never had a relationship with a human being, you cannot know anything about human beings! I think that the best way to gain knowledge is through gaining experience and through connections... Look, if I approach an instrument theoretically, it will give me a theory, so therefore this will make cold music".

Context: I'd make me into a brand new sailor if I were God
Maybe there were new things over there
It comes from within me to write as though rabid, I'm hungry, do you understand

Who can know anything best of all
What does it mean to know anything best
Which religion doesn't grow old
